Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 157
Suddenly, Wu Lien-teh's heart moved. "I'll take the two of you to a place, and you should figure it out when you meet."

"Just go," Lu Ban snorted, "but don't try to play tricks!"

"No, just rest assured, both of you."

After finishing speaking, Wu Liande led Feng Lu and the two towards the end of the village.

After walking for a while, the three stopped in front of an old courtyard house.

Feng Shen asked, "Where is this?"

"Inside is Fengluotan's ancestral hall," Wu Liande said, pushing the courtyard door open. "No one usually comes here. After the accident in the village, it seems to be deserted. I've just settled here for a few days."

After the two were admitted to the hospital, Wu Lien-teh closed the courtyard door again, took off a wind lantern from the inner wall to light it up, and quickly stepped into the ancestral hall.

There was a large altar table in the hall, and the table was filled with densely packed spiritual tablets. Lu Ban only took a look at it, and couldn't help squatting up, looked at Wu Liande, and said in his heart: "This kid is not small."

Wu Lien-teh beckoned, and turned behind the screen.Seeing this, Feng and Lu hurriedly followed closely.

It turned out that there was a half-chamber hall behind the screen, in which there was a case to solve the case, and some utensils were randomly piled up on the case, exuding a strong smell of medicine.

"Hey," Lu Ban pinched his nose, "What the hell is this smell? Why does it still smell like dead fish and rotten shrimp?"

Wu Lien-teh said: "This is where I conduct experiments."

"Experiment?" Feng Shen was puzzled, seeing several open river fish contained in those containers, he wanted to step forward to see what happened.

"Don't touch them!" Lien-teh Wu hastily stopped, "These fish are all experimental subjects and have been infected with the virus!"

Feng Shen was startled, and withdrew his hand. "Is this fish poisonous?"

"Just... let's treat it as poison," Wu Liande said, "If the virus carried by this fish is refined and refined, just a little bit of it can wipe out the entire village of people and animals!"

Feng Lu couldn't stop his tongue, "So powerful? What kind of poison is this?"

Wu Lien-teh looked serious, "Hu Lie!"

Feng Shen's eyes were like blades, and they met Wu Liande's eyes. "Fengluotan suffered a catastrophe, presumably because of this Huliela?"

Wu Lien-teh blurted out, "Not bad."

"Just admit it!" Lu Ban flew into a rage and threw his fist at Wu Lien-teh. "I'll kill you evil spirit!"

"Brother, slow down." Feng Shen pushed Lu Ban's fist away, "Let's listen to what he has to say."

Wu Lien-teh was stunned, and said: "You two think that Hu Liela was caused by me? On the contrary, I researched this virus just to save people."

Lu Bantou hesitated and said: "What is the matter, you tell it from the beginning to the end, and you are not allowed to have a half-truth."

"Okay," Wu Liande said, "I passed by here a few days ago, and found that many people in this village were infected with contagious diseases. I realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately reported to the Pinggu County Government. Unexpectedly, the county government After the officials heard the news, they said that I was scaremongering, and instead of taking any measures, they sent people to follow me."

Feng Shen said: "That's why you leapfrogged to report?"

"Yes," Wu Lien-teh said, "I didn't understand their intentions at the time, but after all, human life is at stake, and I can't ignore it. So while dealing with the pursuers, I hurried northward. When I arrived in the capital, I found out that there was someone in Shuntian Mansion. Lu Bantou, a Lu official. Just as I was going to meet Xiang Chen, the person following me appeared again. In order to avoid their sight, I had to write a note and stuff it in Lu Bantou's arms in a hurry. After reporting the epidemic , I went back to Fengluotan. At that time, many infected people in the village had died. But after I checked, I found a commonality, that is, the same epidemic, but the west end of the village was much more serious than the east end of the village.”

Feng Luqi asked: "What's the reason?"

Wu Lien-teh said: "Water source! The west of the village is adjacent to the river, and the residents mostly draw water from the river for drinking. The east of the village is far away from the river, so more well water is used. I have some equipment and medicines with me, so I hurriedly sampled the river water for testing. I found that it was not an ordinary Phytophthora virus at all, but a mutated Huliella virus. After I figured out the crux, I hid in this ancestral hall and began to develop a vaccine to kill Huliella. However, due to the lack of medicines, I couldn’t Success. Just when I was at a loss, a few monks came down from Yaji Mountain, gave the patients something to drink, and cured them."

"That's right," Lu Ban nodded, "I was there at the time, and the monks fed them holy water."

Wu Lien-teh shook his head and said, "It's not some holy water, it's just the vaccine to suppress Huliela."

"Brother Wu, are you sure?" Feng Shen said, "How could monks have such things?"

"There is nothing wrong," Wu Liande said. "When those monks left, they threw away the bamboo tubes. I secretly picked them up and found some remnants inside. I tested them overnight, and it is undoubtedly a vaccine."

Lu Ban wondered: "That group of monks have supernatural powers, they even understand such foreign things?"

Wu Lien-teh said: "I didn't know it at the time, but I thought they saved the villagers after all, so they shouldn't be bad people. But who knew that the next day, they returned to the village, cheated and abducted them, and took all the villagers up the mountain. "

Lu Ban nodded, "Isn't there an old lady left? The one who was killed tonight."

"Well," Wu Liande said, "I remember that old lady was very stubborn, no matter how much the monks tried to intimidate her, she refused to leave the village. Afterwards, several monks discussed it, and they only let her stay."

Lu Ban slapped his head, "That's right! What the old lady said is indeed the truth. It's just that the gang of thieves saved their lives. Aren't you afraid that she will publicize it?"

"Of course I'm not afraid," Wu Liande said, "Before they left, they secretly put Hu Lila in the water tank of the old lady's house."

"Ah?" Lu Ban's head turned pale, "Is there a piece of tin on that water tank?"

Wu Lien-teh thought about it, and said, "It seems to be."

"It's over, brother," Lu Ban said in shock, "we both drank the water in that tank!"

"Don't worry, Lu Bantou," Wu Liande said with a smile, "I have already eliminated the virus in the water."

Feng Shen said: "Brother Wu, can you dissolve the poison now?"

"Yes," Wu Lien-teh said, "With the residual liquid left by those monks as a reference, it will save a lot of effort to develop a vaccine. But at the time, I was not sure if it would be successful, and I was worried that the old lady would treat me. If there was a misunderstanding, I followed the example of those monks and secretly threw the vaccine into the water tank behind her back."

Lu Ban said happily: "No wonder the old lady suspects that someone is wandering around her house, so it's you!"

"Alas," Wu Lien-teh sighed, "it's a pity that the old lady still cannot escape her bad luck in the end."

"Brother Wu," Feng Shen said again, "if someone gets Hu Lie La again, are you sure you'll be cured?"

Wu Lien-teh said: "It's not a big problem, I have mastered the relevant molecular formulas, and I will improve it further as long as the conditions are complete..."

Lu Ban interrupted: "We don't understand what you said, as long as it can save people."

"That's true," Wu Lien-teh said, "but what I don't understand is that the development of this type of virus is still a pioneer in the West, so why are the monks in the monastery able to use it so well?"

Feng Shendao: "They are just following orders, there should be someone else who developed the virus."

Wu Lien-teh asked, "How do you say that?"

At this time Feng Shen was no longer wary of Wu Lien-teh, and immediately told about his previous experience, together with his own deduction.

When he heard that the sticky pole was in collusion with the Japanese, Wu Lien-teh said: "That's it. If the Japanese are involved, it is not surprising that the virus was developed. Mr. Feng, then what are we going to do next?"

"I see it this way," Feng Shen said to Lu Ban, "Brother, you go to the county government to transfer troops with your waist card, and Brother Wu and I will go to the old woman's house to see, maybe we can find some clues."

"Success," Lu Ban nodded, "I'm leaving now!"

Feng Shen instructed again: "Brother, when you arrive at the county government office, pick more good hands, those ninjas are not easy to deal with."

"Ninja?" Lu Ban was stunned, "Where did the ninja come from?"

"Brother, haven't you thought about it yet?" Feng Shen said, "The 'dumb arhat' in that temple is the ninja from Japan."

"Ah?" Lu Ban was dumbfounded, "How do you say that?"

Feng Shendao: "That group of ninjas met me once. At that time, they were wearing grimace masks. I couldn't see their appearance, but they could remember me. In front of the cliff temple, they may have changed intentionally because they were afraid that I would recognize them. Moves. With all kinds of things in the temple, and the claw attack on the seriously injured man, I concluded that the group of dumb arhats were ninjas pretending to be."

Lu Bantou said again: "But what's wrong with them pretending to be monks?"

Feng Shendao: "Firstly, it's because they are hiding in the important temple, so it's more convenient to pretend to be monks. Second, because they can't pretend to be anything other than this identity."

"Impossible," Lu Ban said, "it's not uncommon to have lay disciples in temples."

Feng Shen pointed to Wu Lien-teh, "Like Brother Wu, the Japanese don't have braids. Wouldn't it be more eye-catching if they had short hair all over their heads?"

"That's right," Lu Ban said, "It's the same if you shave your head."

Feng Shen said again: "The real reason why they pretend to be deaf and dumb is that they don't know Chinese. They can't understand or speak, so they just keep silent."

"Wow!" Lu Ban rubbed his fists and said, "That's a good time to take them all! What are you waiting for? Let's hurry up!"

After all, Lu Ban urged again and again.Seeing this, Wu Lien-teh dragged a suitcase from the case and left the ancestral hall together with Feng Shen and others.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the old woman's house, they found a group of people indistinctly surrounded by the head of the village.Lu Bantou thought it was an evil monk in the monastery, so he wanted to go forward and do his best.

"Brother, come on slowly," Feng Shen stopped him, "The one in the lead seems to be a policeman who came with Master Lou this afternoon."

"Oh? It's really an official job." Lu Ban took a closer look and was overjoyed, "Haha, this is great, so I won't have to run around!"

Hearing the movement, all the officials came to look at it together.
